Piekary Śląskie - City Walk

Piekary Śląskie is one of the most important pilgrimage centres in Silesia. The heart of the town is the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Piekary with its monumental Basilica of St Mary, home to a painting famed for its graces, and the Calvary stretching right next to it, with the neo-Gothic Church of the Resurrection and the chapels of the Way of the Cross.

We prepared an audio tour that leads through St Mary's Square and Paradise Square to the Piekary Calvary, and then along Bytomska Street to places including the house where the writer Pola Gojawiczyńska lived. During the tour we also introduce the history of Piekary Śląskie – from its first mention in 1277 to the 20th century.

The tour is available in Polish.
